More of the Brawl!fic. At Nako's and Kate's request.

Chapter Two-



Ursa and Tai: Age five
Aiden: Age four
Netami: Age two

~*~

One of Ursa and Tai’s earliest memories was the day of their father’s coronation. The same day, after over five years of engagement, he got married.

It was that day they realized that all along, he and Sokka were more than “just good friends”.

At first, when they heard of the wedding, they instantly thought Zuko and Mai were going to get back together. To form the kind of family they felt was normal.

To see their father standing before a good portion of their country, hand in hand with another man, came as a shock.

One of Mai’s biggest regrets was that she didn’t tell them sooner. They thought TenTen was their aunt, Mai’s sister. They thought them kissing and cuddling was normal. So when Mai sat them down and told them they were actually a couple, all the pieces fell into place.

Both of their parents were gay.

Of course, being only five years old, they didn’t quite understand exactly what this meant. But it did help them grow into well-rounded people. After all, how can you be ignorant when one of society’s taboos stares you in the face every day? So, after the initial shock, it became the norm.

Yes, their mother and TenTen cuddling on the couch, and their father and Sokka making out on the table in the war chamber was normal.

It was about as normal as Zuko tripping over his own feet as he stepped up to accept the crown.

And as normal as Ginny bursting into laughter at the sight of it, causing several heads to turn and glare in her direction.

A few days later there was a smaller party held at Ginny’s flat in London. Just a small celebration for all of their friends. Ursa, Tai, Aiden, and Netami were all placed together in a small playpen, while the older kids and the adults conversed and actually had fun. One thing they would always remember was the fact Orochimaru and his husband, Gai, actually would come over to play with them. Tai really liked his “Uncle Maru”. He had softened in his old age, and has formed a general fondness for children. It was a fact a lot of people made fun of but he brushed off. Power and perfection had become overrated.

But that’s not to say the old man didn’t have his bite.

It was Orochimaru who stopped the flat from being torn to shreds when Mai was chasing Zuko, throwing knives and kunai at him, all because he grabbed her butt while she wasn’t paying attention.

And it was Orochimaru who saved Zuko from certain death when he jokingly snatched a very important notebook to Light.

And it was Orochimaru who climbed to the roof of the building to find the kids, who had escaped and climbed up the ladder outside the window.

Aiden was about to push Tai off the roof too.

It was because of Orochimaru that Tai wanted to become a ninja.
